.........Max and the Life of Big Machines

Another "work" from the ongoing manuscript Max and the Life of Big Machines. A character-list of sorts (there's a Latin, wait, Dramatis Personae, is that it?, word for that) type of poem.

Landscape

Max tows around his rusted-out, misadventure life.

Leslie Ann is the girl with the megahertz heart

or The Girl with Xs for Eyes
when her loves
uncoil under the moon.

Moon preaches with a fast flash, sunburst Les Paul and Tomcat's yowl.

The Green Night feeds on many things: headlights, hunger and paranoia.

Satellites cluck their tongues in omniscient orbital awe.

The Sun should keep its loathsome thoughts to itself.

The Moon judges from behind a big, dark desk.



(and more......)


Max on Tuesday

The Sun once said "Max, commit suicide."
It spun once on its thin silver tether,
stood up and winked then died.
Max slunk to the gas station for a newspaper.
Max slunk across the college campus.
Max moved until he felt anonymous,
then headed to the bar. Max made good time.
The Girl with Xs for Eyes soon followed behind,
muttered "Moon, you whore" and cooed for love.
Max kept his cool: He knew The Moon's bones.
He looked up, unsheathed his eyes,
counted the flakes of snow as they fell,
turned to The Girl with Xs for Eyes and said,
"Let me do the worst thing I can think of."


PS....I also somehow run a small carpentry company (I used that term real loosely.....). Here's a couple of pics of a project I'm mostly doing solo. A century-home porch restoration. Kind of cool--if your into those things.

Notice: The haphazard caution tape. Dangerous Bushes, them bushes.


Um, yeah, somebody is paying me to structurally fiddle with this house:

My dear friend ~ Oh, how I miss you! I carry you in my heart each day- I will forever. I'm only sorry you never knew how much you touched my life. I'll never forget that year on Brock Lane.
